if i should die before i wake

~"If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm." -Bruce Barton.  and let enthusiasm be contagious.

'The best is yet to come' by Tony Bennett.  it's not that i'm feeling hopeful - it's that i'd like to feel hopeful.

Riding in Cars with Boys, because paths, hearts, plans get broken. you can roll with it and wash your armpits or throw your hands up and fall asleep with potato chips. 

haven't really felt much like relaying anything lately, so i'll make a list.  things i dream about doing before i expire.  no doubt i'll add to the list as my life goes on.
if you see anything on here that you also want to do, maybe we should get together and make it happen.  just a thought. 

+go into a shark cage
+swim with sharks
+bungee jump off a bridge in canada
+visit canada
+operate a crane.  a big one
+own a home
+own acres: adopt animals, foster children, grow a big garden, let us all take care of each other (assuming the kids aren't violent and the animals aren't vicious and the tomatoes aren't poisonous)
+join the peace corps
+work for/with andrew vachss
+travel europe, but not stay in hostels
+own a pair of 4.5" green satin high heels- and wear them descending  a....
+descend a grand staircase
+not be ashamed of my body. even for just a moment.
+work on a movie set
+have dinner with john goodman and pals (mark your calendars: june 20 is john's birthday.  we're celebrating (probably without john))

++sleep

good nite for now, gang.  the fog has settled and i'm seeing stars.  cheers.
